A Conspiracy of Paper: A Novel — The South Sea Bubble and Financial Power

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores A Conspiracy of Paper: A Novel by David Liss as a systems-level analysis of how early modern finance, reputation economies, and enforcement structures influenced behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.

By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
